BREAKING: INEC Gets 188,588 Voters Signatures To recall Dino Melay

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has received
signatures of about 188,588 voters from electorates in Kogi West
Senatorial District, demanding the recall of Dino Melaye from the
Senate.

It was reported that the move to recall the lawmaker with the
signatories being about 52.3 per cent of the registered voters in the
district.

The law requires 50 per cent of voters in an area sign to recall a lawmaker.

Mr. Melaye has since condemned the move, saying it would fail and was being sponsored by Kogi Governor Yahya Bello.

According to Punch Newspaper, the signed documents were contained in
six bags alongside other documents and were submitted to INEC’s
headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.

Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES, Rotimi Oyekanmi, INEC Chairman’s spokesperson, said he did not have details of the submission.

“I am not sure who they gave the signatures, I have to be certain
before I make comment. But I heard they came,” Mr. Oyekanmi said.
